There are a great many reasons why a cache does not grow. The top ones
are that in more recent Squid we try to avoid cycling non-cacheable
material through the disk cache. So we avoid filling cache space with
non-reusable content, and also the small short-lived things often expire
while still only in RAM. Modern websites also contain a lot of dynamic
content. So the CMS systems they use often make thing non-cacheable, or
the better ones require revalidation, which can replace cached objects
instead of adding new content.
Then the browser caches store a lot so middleware tends to get MISSes
more often.
